    1.1 INTRODUCTION

    This Airplane Flight Manual has been prepared in order to provide pilots and instructorswith all the information required for the safe and efficient operation of the airplane.

    The Airplane Flight Manual includes all the data which must be made available to the pilotaccording to the JAR-23 requirement. Beyond this, it contains further data and operatinginstructions which, in the manufacturer’s opinion, could be of value to the pilot.

    This Airplane Flight Manual is valid for all serial numbers. Equipment and modificationlevel (design details) of the airplane may vary from serial number to serial number.Therefore, some of the information contained in this manual is applicable depending onthe respective equipment and modification level. The exact equipment of your serialnumber is recorded in the Equipment Inventory in Section 6.5. The modification level isrecorded in the following table (as far as necessary for this manual).

    CAUTIONThe DA 40 is a single engine airplane. When the operatinglimitations and maintenance requirements are complied with,it has the high degree of reliability which is required by thecertification basis. Nevertheless, an engine failure is notcompletely impossible. For this reason, flights during thenight, on top, under instrument meteorological conditions(IMC), or above terrain which is unsuitable for a landing,constitute a risk. It is therefore highly recommended to selectflight times and flight routes such that this risk is minimized.

    1.2 CERTIFICATION BASIS

    This airplane has been type certified in accordance with the JAA JC/VP procedure. Thecertification basis is JAR-23, published on 11-Mar-1994.

    1.3 WARNINGS, CAUTIONS AND NOTES

    Special statements in the Airplane Flight Manual concerning the safety or operation ofthe airplane are highlighted by being prefixed by one of the following terms:

    WARNINGmeans that the non-observation of the correspondingprocedure leads to an immediate or important degradationin flight safety.

    CAUTIONmeans that the non-observation of the correspondingprocedure leads to a minor or to a more or less long termdegradation in flight safety.

    NOTEdraws the attention to any special item not directly related tosafety but which is important or unusual.

    WARNINGExceeding the mass limits will lead to an overstressing of theairplane as well as to a degradation of flight characteristicsand flight performance.

    NOTEThe maximum landing mass is the highest mass for landingconditions at the maximum descent velocity. This velocity wasused in the strength calculations to determine the landing gearloads during a particularly hard landing.

    2.8 CENTER OF GRAVITY

    Datum Plane

    The Datum Plane (DP) is a plane which is normal to the airplane’s longitudinal axis andin front of the airplane as seen from the direction of flight. The airplane’s longitudinal axisis parallel with the upper surface of a 600:31 wedge which is placed on top of the rearfuselage in front of the vertical stabilizer. When the upper surface of the wedge is alignedhorizontally, the Datum Plane is vertical. The Datum Plane is located 2.194 meters(86.38 in) forward of the most forward point of the root rib on the stub wing.

    Center of Gravity Limitations

    The center of gravity (CG) for flight conditions must lie between the following limits:

    Most forward CG:

    2.40 m (94.5 in) aft of DP from 780 kg to 980 kg (1720 lb to 2161 lb)2.46 m (96.9 in) aft of DP at 1150 kg (2535 lb)linear variation between these values

    If MÄM 40-227 is carried out:'

    2.40 m (94.5 in) aft of DP from 780 kg to 980 kg (1720 lb to 2161 lb)'2.48 m (97.6 in) aft of DP at 1200 kg (2646 lb)'linear variation between these values'

    Most rearward CG:

    a) Standard Tank : 2.59 m (102.0 in) aft of DPb) Long Range Tank : 2.55 m (100.4 in) aft of DP

    WARNINGExceeding the center of gravity limitations reduces thecontrollability and stability of the airplane.

    3.1 INTRODUCTION

    3.1.1 GENERAL

    This Chapter contains checklists as well as the description of recommended proceduresto be followed in the event of an emergency. Engine failure or other airplane-relatedemergencies are most unlikely to occur if the prescribed procedures for pre-flight checksand airplane maintenance are followed.

    If, nonetheless, an emergency does arise, the guidelines given here should be followedand applied in order to clear the problem.

    As it is impossible to foresee all kinds of emergencies and cover them in this AirplaneFlight Manual, a thorough understanding of the airplane by the pilot is, in addition to hisknowledge and experience, an essential factor in the solution of any problems which mayarise.

    WARNINGIn each emergency, control over the flight attitude and thepreparation of a possible emergency landing have priorityover attempts to solve the current problem ("first fly theaircraft"). Prior to the flight the pilot must consider thesuitability of the terrain for an emergency landing for eachphase of the flight. For a safe flight the pilot must constantlykeep a safe minimum flight altitude. Solutions for variousadverse scenarios should be thought over in advance. Thusit should be guaranteed that the pilot is at no time shockedby an engine failure and that he can act calmly and withdetermination.

    (b) Loss of Oil Pressure

    1. Check oil pressure warning light and oil pressure indicator.

    2. Check oil temperature.

    2a. If the oil pressure indication drops below the green sector and the oil temperatureis normal (oil pressure warning light does not illuminate or flash):

    * Monitor the oil pressure warning light: it is probable that the oil pressureindication is defective.

    * Monitor the oil and cylinder head temperatures.

    2b. If the oil pressure indication drops below the green sector while the oil or cylinderhead temperature is rising, or

    If the oil pressure warning light illuminates or flashes, or

    If both of these occur together:

    * Reduce engine power to the minimum required.

    * Land as soon as possible.

    * Be prepared for engine failure and emergency landing.

    2c. Oil pressure tending to zero combined with:

    Vibration, loss of oil, possibly unusual metallic noise and smoke:

    * A mechanical failure in the engine is apparent.

    * Shut off engine immediately and

    * Carry out emergency landing in accordance with 3.5.1 - EMERGENCYLANDING WITH ENGINE OFF.

    (c) High Oil Pressure

    Check oil temperature.

    * If the oil temperature is normal, it is probable that the fault lies in the oilpressure indication, which should thus be ignored (the airplane should beserviced).

    END OF CHECKLIST

    (d) High Oil Temperature

    Check cylinder head and exhaust gas temperature.

    * If neither of these is high, it is probable that the fault lies in the oil temperatureindication. The airplane should be serviced. A stable oil temperatureindication of 26 °F (-3 °C) or 317 °F (158 °C) suggests a failure of the oil%temperature sensor.

    * If the cylinder head temperature or exhaust gas temperature is also high:

    - Check oil pressure. If the oil pressure is low, proceed as in 3.2.3 (b) -LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE.

    - If the oil pressure is in the green sector:

    - Check mixture setting, enrich mixture if necessary.

    - Reduce power; if this produces no improvement, land at the nearestappropriate airfield.

    1. Check mixture setting, enrich mixture if necessary.2. Check oil temperature.

    - Check oil pressure. If the oil pressure is low, proceed as in 3.2.3 (b) -LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE.

    (f) High RPM

    RPM moves on its own into the yellow sector, or is in the red sector:

    1. Check friction adjuster for throttle quadrant.2. Check oil pressure: Following a loss of oil or oil pressure, the propeller

    governor sets a high RPM. In this case the RPM should be regulated usingthe throttle. Proceed as in 3.2.3 (b) - LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE.

    3. If oil pressure is normal:

    * Pull RPM lever back and listen for an associated drop in RPM:

    - If the indication does not change in spite of an audible drop in RPM, itis probable that the RPM indication is defective, which should thus beignored (the airplane should be serviced).

    - If there is no audible drop in RPM, it is probable that the governor systemis defective. In this case the RPM should be regulated using the throttle.
